Not the greatest for beginners.......2005-10-22
I am a conga player who doesnt have any training in percussion instruments. I have a good sense of rhythym and can play well with other musicians and do so on a weekly basis. Everything I play is by feel so I thought I would like to learn some basic patterns.
Richie Gajate-Garcia surely doesn't lack skill, but it is my impression that it is painful for him to try to teach at a beginner level. He states that you shouldn't try to play too fast, but then procedes to play every pattern in hypersonic speed. Its impressive to watch, but impossible to participate in. He does start off slowly, but just when I'm getting the hang of it he speeds up and I have to stop playing, grab the remote and rewind to the beginning again. I don't know if this is typical for instructional videos but it is very annoying.
What would really help me get better is a "playing partner" on dvd - someone to follow along on a drumming pattern that lasts for more than 10 seconds. I would have been stoked to have 60 minutes of that rather than the artist biography, photo gallery and bonus video clip.
